Pedro Acosta: “It’s been a fairly clean battle with Arbolino, I’m having a great time”

MADRID, 5 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Spanish Moto2 rider Pedro Acosta (Kalex) valued this Wednesday his “fairly clean battle” with the Italian Tony Arbolino (Kalex), for which he is having a “very good time” in the category, in which he acknowledged that he committed ” many mistakes” in his rookie year from which he has “learned”.

“It’s been a fairly clean battle, I’m having a great time. Neither can say something bad about the other. We were good friends, then when he made the jump to the World Cup we moved away. We have a merely cordial treatment, I don’t like having friends in the ‘paddock'”, the Murcian commented on his rivalry with the World Cup leader Arbolino, in statements to the DAZN ‘Carpool’ program.

Acosta, second in the standings, is already one of the figures in Spanish motorcycling, although his first year in Moto2 was difficult. “Last year I made a lot of mistakes, more than I would have liked. We all forget that I was a ‘rookie’ and many think that since I had just won a category in my first year, here at least I had to match it. I think that this year I have learned from everything from last year and it is going well”, he confessed.

One of the main changes in the Murcian routine has been the gym, to which he has put “a lot of effort”. “I never went to Moto3 and in my first year in Moto2 I had to start going to recover from the injury. Last year I was very thin, when I see videos of me on the bike I look very thin,” he said.

“I have gained 7 kilos and I am much better because, although I am three kilos past the Moto2 weight, I know that with the rhythm of the meals in the championship, I am going to lose them and I am going to be perfect,” he assured.

Regarding the summer break, Acosta acknowledged that he wants to escape “from things” and take “everything as a joke.” “That’s why you see me laughing all the time. I told my physio recently that my goal this summer is to turn my mind into a monk’s and my body into a temple,” he concluded.
